It includes quality prediction, fovea and optic disc center localization, blood vessel segmentation, image registration, and fundus cropping functions. It also provides a collection of useful utilities for image manipulation and image-based PyTorch models. The toolbox is designed to be flexible and easy to use, thus helping to speed up research workflows. All tools can be installed as a whole or individually, depending on the user's needs. \autoref{fig:example} illustrates the main functionalities. +The Fundus Image Toolbox is an open source Python suite of tools for working with retinal fundus images.
